Hi guys! If you've been following us for a while now, you might know that we recently started interviewing our favorite bloggers, and we think it's such a great idea to get to know them better. This month we decided to introduce you Ashley, a beautiful mommy-to-be blogger, who never fails to disappoint us with her colorful yet very girly-girl style! Enjoy!

1.When did your interest in fashion begin and what made you want to start a style blog?

"I think I've always had an interest in fashion. When I was young my mother would try and pick out my outfits. I've always had an idea about how I wanted to dress and I never let anyone get in the way of that (including mom!). I started my style blog because I had seen so many others and thought I should take a chance at it as well. I never realized how much you put into posting your personal style but I find it both fun and challenging."

2. Have you always had a spot in your heart for fashion?

"Yes! As a young girl I always wore dresses. I considered myself a bit of a tomboy, but I'd be playing with the boys in my dresses. These days I've found more of my femininity, but I've never stopped dressing up."

3. Describe your style. Has it evolved since you began
your blog?

"I consider my style girly yet practical.
I have an hourglass shape so I love to wear fit and flare dresses. I try
to buy pieces that I can dress both up and down and get multiple uses
from. I don't think my style has changed since starting my blog, but I
think I get much more inspiration from other bloggers which definitely
influences my style."

4. What things or
places inspire you?

"Defintely
other bloggers. Before I was consumed by the style blogging world,
magazines were great inspiration. Unfortunatly, it was hard to recreate a
style when you're being shown high fashion pieces. I love going to a
style blog, being taken away by their outfit, and finding exactly where they
bought it (or linking to something similar). I've found so many great
pieces this way!"

"I feel like I'm growing into maxi skirts and
dresses this summer. While it's not what I normally wear, I think they
look so pretty and they're really easy to style. I was really into crop
tops last summer, but since I'm pregnant this year I won't be wearing any haha!"

7. Is there a store or designer that you feel best
embodies your personal style?

"My
favorite designer of all time is Luella Bartley. Every piece she's ever
designed should be in my closet! I was really upset when she decided to
retire, but I heard she's doing a line for Marc by Marc Jacobs that debuts next
year :)"

8. What five essentials should every girl have in her
wardrobe?

"A fit
and flair little black dress

A great
pencil skirt

A
comfortable pair of heels

A peacoat

A pair
of black pants"

9. Do you have a signature scent or shade of lipstick?

"I love
Bright Crystal by Versace. I think it's a great summer scent! As
for lipstick, I always stick with a baby pink. I feel like it goes with
everything."

10. What websites and blogs do you read daily?

"I try to read blogs everyday but sometimes
it's a little challenging! But I make sure to always keep up with Midwest
Muse, Of Corgis and Cocktails, Smitten, and Shop and Twirl. They're
always fun reads!"

11. What are your favorite designers and where do you
usually shop?

"I mostly
shop online. My favorite stores are Modcloth, Ruche, and ASOS. I
really love Dahlia as well, their dresses are all swoonworthy!"

Hope you enjoyed this interview! We have a question for all of you: do you really think Google Reader will shut down? There were multiply rumors like this, and it still works. We think it's just a way of making Bloglovin' more famous, you know like those stupid rumors about Morgan Freeman's and Akon's death. But still we want to be sure about it, because if it's true, than most of the blogs will shut down, or what?! Anyway, if you think it will shut down and still want to follow our blog, here is our Bloglovin' :

It's been so long since I've fallen in love with a piece of clothing! But now it happened again, thank God! This beautiful shirt is from Persunmall, an amazing site to shop for fashionable clothes! We've talked about this site for so many times, but our perspective about it hasn't changed since. Honestly it's one of the few online stores that takes this business seriously, it happened so many times to me, that I've won or redeemed something, but without ever receiving the item!

About the shirt, I can really imagine wearing it with a pair of white trousers (the ones I just bought in H&M) or maybe a cute light pink skirt! Stay tuned for the outfit post!

{ Wearing everything from Orsay except shoes which are from Leonardo and necklace from Zara }

This is an outfit dedicated to my favourite brand, Orsay! I feel a bit weird because now that we have H&M in our town, we kind of forgot about it, but oh boy, they still make the most perfect clothes! At least for me. I did some shopping a few weeks ago, and it was my first stop. A lot of people complain about the fact that it is too expensive, and it's true, these pants cost me 3x as much as my H&M similar pants, but the material is way better and I feel more comfortable in them.

BTW, I feel that clothes bought in Romanian H&M's have different material, a lot of them are badly sewed, have a worse quality compared to the other H&M's in Europe. Am I right, or am I just overreacting?

After a month of exams I really need this to blow out some steam! I am really looking forward to Fritz Kalkbrenner, Morcheeba and Feed me concerts! Hope to see you there!

Two years ago on this day we wrote our first post! It's quite amazing how long ago it was and still feels so close. Since then so much has changed! Our styles and our personalities have changed, we have matured but still kept in our hears our childish ways. We have discovered our weaknesses and our strengths!

We would like to thank every single one of you who has read our blog ! Also a big thanks for the feedbacks!

You know this song, right? I just thought of this when typing: rule no 1! Anyway, this outfit I wore for my first exam, last week. I was never fond of matching brown with black ( I am more likely to wear brown), at least not until I bought my first animal print top! It's the best item to incorporate in these kinds of outfits. If you have some doubts matching the two colors (if we call them colors), hope these very few simple tips help you combat this fashion myth.

I will try to make more outfit posts like these, but now for two more weeks I am off to study for my exams. We love our blog, but we are first of all students, so our main priority is always studying, blogging is just a hobby, we do it because we love it, it's not a source of income and will never be!!! We want to accomplish our dreams by hard work and that sometimes means studying for six weeks in a row, without a break. (At least the weather sucks, it's not a temptation!)

Do you remember our post from a few months ago when we introduced you to Mariann from Cashmere In Style? We decided to make more interviews with our fave bloggers, this time with Dora from Fashion Painted Dreams, she is a Romanian blogger based in Germany. Unfortunately, we didn't have the opportunity to meet her in person, but there's always hope! Enjoy the interview!

1. When did your interest in fashion begin and what made you
want to start a style blog?

2. Have you always had a spot in your heart for
fashion?

It's funny but I've actually had this huge passion for fashion and everything
beautiful for as long as I can remember. I started to draw fashion sketches at
an early age and loved to play dress-up with my friends in our mom's clothes.
I've always believed that you need to try and do what you're passionate about,
so starting a fashion blog just came naturally, as a great way to express my
creative side.

3. Describe your style. Has it evolved since you began your blog?

It
definitely evolved! I like to mix and match a lot and try to incorporate new
shapes and pieces into my wardrobe regularly. And even though I like to keep
things pretty classic as it's timeless, I always try to give my outfits a
modern twist by devoting more attention to the details. For example, I prefer
pairing a plain or a printed basic tee to a classic pencil skirt, instead of a shirt.It's a lot more contemporary and refreshing.

4. What things or places inspire you?

It varies a lot and I'm constantly seeking new
delights to inspire me. It can be an old Hollywood movie, a mesmerizing runway
collection or a chic girl I saw on the street. I also gather my inspiration from
editorials, fashion portals or street style blogs.

5. Do you have any style icons?

I
wouldn't exactly name them my personal style icons as I don't believe in such
idioms, but I do admire Cate Blanchett's, Nicole Richie's, Marion Cottilard's
or Emma Stone's fashion sense.

6. What spring/summer pieces or trends are you
most excited to wear?

Emerald
green! I simply love this precious color! A fancy maxi dress in this beautiful
shade is on top of my summer wishlist.

7. Is there a store or designer that you feel
best embodies your personal style?

Frida
Giannini, the creative director at Gucci! She's a queen of elegance and
glamour, her designs being exquisite and luxurious yet wearable and unfussy.
Her design philosophy seems to match my personality like a glove.

Oh,
there are so many great designers that never cease to amaze me! But to name
just a few right now, I would say Isabel Marant, Marc Jacobs, Stella McCartney,
Chloe, Jil Sander, Gucci, Ermanno Scervino, Derek Lam and Miu Miu.

As for the high street labels, I remain faithful to the old trusty Zara,H&M, Cos and Mango.
